There was something so utterly satisfying about pushing the power plug toward the MagSafe jack and having it latch on with a solid thunk. I can’t say if MagSafe ever saved me from such a calamity, but I appreciated using it for many years across several MacBook models. The big win of the breakaway magnetic connector was that you couldn’t trip over a power cord and damage the power jack or pull the MacBook onto the floor. Inspired by magnetic power connectors in deep fryers and Japanese countertop cooking appliances, MagSafe made it trivially easy to plug and unplug the power connector.
And by MagSafe, I mean the original MagSafe charging plug technology that Apple introduced in 2006 on the first MacBook Pro. Much as I’m amazed by the performance of my M1-based MacBook Air, I miss MagSafe. #1607: TidBITS 32nd anniversary, moving from 1Password to KeePass, pasting plain text, Mail fixes anchor links, RIP EolakeĪre Cheap MagSafe-Like Adapters for USB-C Worthwhile?.
